Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle High Shine

I ordered and returned 3 pairs of the this shoe. Ordered a narrow width, and each time it looked to me like it was a medium width as the "M" was after the size. Can't find any indication that this shoe is a narrow. If this Sandel is narrow, It is too wide and I will have to return them and look for another white sandel. Cameron was the customer service person I spoke with. He was so very helpful, and a pleasure to talk with. Is very professional and I'm sure is a great asset to Zappos.

I wanted to love these so much. They hurt my feet though. I’m bummed. The way it’s made, underneath the buckles, both places hurt my feet causing blisters. I have tons of birks and none of them do this. True to size.

Love the oversized buckle, however, wish they were available with the "soft footbed", of which I am a major fan. The oiled leather is a bit stiff, but I know they'll soften up with wear.

I really like the look of these. The leather was kind of stiff and sharp on the edges at first. The first time I wore them for a long walk I got a few blisters. They seem to be breaking in after wearing them 4 of 5 times. Unusual for Birkenstock’s.

Fit was great and a typical birkenstock. Didn't like the bright gold buckle so returned them.

I typically wear a 9, but Birkenstocks can run large. They don't make half sizes, so I went with the 40. I think a 39.5 would have been perfect. The style is nice and I love the black leather footbed and the large, shiny metal buckle. It's a bit more polished and stylish than a typical Arizona sandal. I actually prefer the Big Buckle in Gizeh, but I had to return those after the thong broke (I had them less than 30 days). I chose this style because I believe it will be sturdy and still comfortable and stylish.

I feel pretty good wearing them. My left foot is flat so I need to wear them a little every day to get used to them. I love the bright white of the leather.

Super cute shoe— other reviews said the narrows weren’t that narrow - and I don’t have a wide foot so thought I would try it. Didn’t work. Too tight for my liking.

I usually take a 39 but the 40 fits better. I’m an 8 1/2. I liked the style but the leather was hard and hurt my feet just trying them on for a few minutes. I bought them for comfort so I sent them back.

I love my Arizona's thought I'd up my game with the big buckle but they just didn't do it for me? the buckle is So shiny it's almost plastic in appearance, I'm sticking with my originals

These are my first Birkenstock shoes ever. I am in "break-in" stage of wear. I am hopeful and encouraged for a great pair of footwear in my future. The Arizona Big Buckle is a much improved Brand look.

LOOVE the looks of these shoes - a dressier Birk for sure! Very comfortable. I have a medium width foot and these are fine even though sold as 'narrow'. My only complaint is with the smooth footbed, my feet are making fart noises when I walk - hopefully that goes away after they are broken in.

These looks SO good, but I'm so much more comfortable with the typical Birkenstock footbed. These are a leather, I think, and I do this love that as much. They do make noises when you walk, but they're so cute that it doesn't matter much.

Fits good. The material on the bed of the shoe is a little sticky but I washed it and it’s a little better. Makes noise when I walk

The oiled leather is a good quality, and the large buckle makes the shoe look very modern and stylish.

I loved the pale pink color but am not wild about the new big buckle. I wish I could find them in pink with a regular buckle and a regular width (although the narrow is okay) and maybe the soft footbed. I have had a million pairs of Birks since the late '50's. I adore them for their comfort and arch and foot support.

I loved the fit of these. They are true to size. I ultimately returned because they were not the style and look I wanted. The colors were different then expected in real life compared to the photos.

I wanted very much to love these. I am generally a fan of Birkenstock sandals, in fact, wearing a pair right now. I loved the added difference of the Big Buckle, and especially the black sole. Unfortunately, I returned these as the foot bed is super hard and I did not find them as comfortable as typical Birks. The style is cute and unique.

These seemed to run small compared to other Birks. These will also take time to break in. These shoes were uncomfortable the first time I wore them, but after breaking them in they are better.

I have been eyeing these sandals for a while. I am very happy with my purchase. I have found while walking I have squeaking from my foot and the shoe. I think it will fix itself as the shoe is broken in.

The sandals fit well when I start wearing,but after an hour or so,, the buckle rubs a bit. The sandals look great for summer. I wear them with everything.

I want to love these but they squeak every time I take a step. This is my first pair of real Birks, trying to love them but for the price I don’t....

The sandal is well made. However, the straps are quite wide making them a little uncomfortable until they are substantially broken in. They do accommodate a narrow foot but the strap almost drags on the ground when it is buckled as tight as I need. Also, until they are worn in, the foot bed hits my big toe in an odd spot. And because the foot bed is molded, it is somewhat uncomfortable. With that said, they do offer good arch support. And wearing an 11N, my options are severely limited unfortunately.

Cute cute cute! If I had time to break them in, I might have kept them. I love Birkenstock sandals. I prefer the softer cushioned sole but I'm okay with the firm footbed. I wanted to keep them just because they are more stylish than the average Arizona. Unfortunately, on the left foot - which has a bunion... the hard leather of the front strap cuts in terribly even with a sock. I wanted these to wear on a trip to Europe where I expect to do a lot of walking. These won't work. If you're waiting on the anthracite crocodile leather in a 40, they're on their way back to Zappos.
